Will Taking Finger Millet(ragi) Cause Cold?
We live in USA and the climate is very cold here. I have a 5.5 month baby for whom i have started feeding Raagi (indian cereal) from last week suddenly she got cold. So I am in a confustion whether Is it because of Raagi or due to something else? Can you please clear my query

Thanks for follow up ,actually, you baby has viral infection. Porridge can not contain virus, I don't think she caught infection from Ragi. Simple things which you can do - cut onion and put on the table ,fitoncides will kill viruses around. You can also give antiviral suppositories, vitamin C or multivitamin, tulsi juice is very helpful. You should visit your pediatrician to check lungs and throat
